Topic: World of Goo Switches to WiiWare in Europe

[Yoshidious]

2D Boy has scrapped the proposed retail PAL version of their hugely acclaimed puzzler in favour of a digitally distributed release identical to the one currently available in North America.

 World of Goo, the physics-based puzzle/construction game whose North American launch was met with glowing reviews last month, is now on course for a WiiWare release across Europe, according to developers 2D Boy. The two-man independent studio has renegotiated its agreement with publisher RTL Games in order to offer PAL gamers the same World of Goo experience as enjoyed by their counterparts across the Atlantic.    

In Europe, World of Goo was originally slated for a Q3 2008 retail release that would have included additional content not found in the North American WiiWare version, until 2D Boy deemed this discrepancy between regions "unfair". Pre-empting further inquiries at the 2D Boy blog, World of Goo's creators state that, having now begun the submission process to Nintendo of Europe, they "hope to release it sometime in December," and that the price will be "most likely the same as in the Americas: 1500 points."

I am glad Europeans gets a chance to experience this game without getting ripped off.

Even more people need to experience this gem.

Yeah for Greg, he gets to play it soon!

Amazing game.  I still say it's worthy of a retail release.  Then again, it's easy to claim that when I don't have to pay fifty bucks for it.

This is good news.  They can save those extra levels for the sequel.

I don't think they actually started working on them.
